| Dalai Lama Quote of the Week ...it is said that through the power of believing one's own body, speech, and mind to be undifferentiable from the deity's exalted body, speech, and mind all one's physical actions and movements are seals and all one's speech is mantra. In this way the Vajrapani Initiation Tantra says: "A son or daughter of lineage* who has seen a mandala, who generates the mind of enlightenment, who is compassionate, skilled in means and in teaching the ways of letters--the door of Secret Mantra--should think thus, 'Separate from speech, there is no mind. Separate from mind, there is no speech. Separate from mind, there is no divine form. Mind itself is speech; speech itself is mind; divine form itself is also mind, and speech itself is also divine form.' "If a mantra practitioner believes in this way that these are undifferentiable, he attains purity of mind. At those times when he has a pure mind, he always views in all ways his own body to be the same as the deity's body, his own speech to be the same as the deity's speech, and his own mind to be the same as the deity's mind; then, he is in meditative equipoise." * One who is a suitable vessel for the teaching. --from Deity Yoga in Action and Performance Tantra by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Tsong-ka-pa, and Jeffrey Hopkins, published by Snow Lion Publications Deity Yoga • 5O% off • for this week only
